Treatment Summary

Testosterone is a hormone used to treat low testosterone levels in men. It works by blocking the androgen receptors and causing the production of male sex organs and other male characteristics. Testosterone was discovered in 1935 and has been used to treat primary and secondary hypogonadism ever since.

Effectiveness

How Androgel Affects Patients

Testosterone helps to build and develop masculine sex organs and characteristics. Its effects last for different amounts of time for different people, with a half-life of 10-100 minutes. Testosterone levels in an adult male are typically between 300-1000ng/dL. It is important to inform patients about the risk of exposing children to testosterone topical products.

How Androgel works in the body

The androgen receptor is a protein that helps the body respond to androgens, like testosterone. It binds to androgens, then carries them into the nucleus of cells, where they can start to create changes. In men, testosterone helps create male sex organs, like the prostate and scrotum. It also causes secondary sexual characteristics like facial hair and body hair.

When to interrupt dosage

The recommended dosage of Androgel is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, including Gonadotrophin releasing hormone deficiency, Orchidectomy and Orchitis. Dosage is contingent upon the mode of administration outlined in the table below.

Androgel for Deficient Activity of the Testis

I've used AndroGel for almost two decades to keep my testosterone levels up, and it's been working great! No negative side effects that I've noticed, and my PSA and prostate remain healthy.

Androgel for Pituitary Hormone Deficiency

I'm 62 and have been on Androgel for 5 years. My physician originally decided to put me on this medication after testing revealed that I had low testosterone levels. Since then, my life has completely turned around! I have so much more energy now, my sex life is back, I can work out at a high level again, and my mind is clear and sharp.

Androgel for Pituitary Hormone Deficiency

I've been using this medication for three weeks now. It's easy to use, but can cause some dizziness afterwards. I'm not sure if it's working yet or not, but I'll keep using it and see how things go.

Androgel for Deficiency of a Substance that Promotes Masculinization

I've lost 10 pounds since starting this medication, and my morning erections are much better than they were before. My sex life has also improved; I'm able to have more than two orgasms and ejaculations from a single encounter. The only downside is that the gel can be slightly messy.

Leflutrozole for Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism

18 - 49
Male
Garden City, NY

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate three doses of the drug leflutrozole on improvement of semen quality in men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, a condition that affects hormone levels and fertility. It will also study the safety of leflutrozole. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does leflutrozole improve semen quality? * What medical problems do participants experience when taking leflutrozole? Researchers will compare leflutrozole to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug). Participants will: * Take leflutrozole or a placebo orally once a week for 16 weeks. * Visit the clinic every 4 weeks for checkups and tests. * Provide semen samples to measure changes in semen quality. * Have their blood tested to measure hormone levels and ensure safety. * Be monitored for any side effects.
